NAME

       mythnettv - RSS video aggregator for MythTV

DESCRIPTION

        mythnettv is a RSS video aggregtor for MythTV.  It take
        downloads video feeds and places them in the recording directory
        in MythTV, then makes them accessible with the rest of your
        recordings.

        This implementation has advantages over other RSS readers for
        MythTV in that it:

        - ignores the content of the post -- it’s all about the video
          files
        - queues downloads, instead of making them when feeds are added,
          or new shows are posted (this stops you from running out of
          disk, or having a huge show backlog)

USAGE

        (manual usage)
         url <url> <title> : to download an RSS feed and load the shows
                             from it into the TODO list. The title is
                             as the show title in the MythTV user
                             interface
         file <url> <title>: to do the same, but from a file, with a show
                             title like url above
         download <num>    : to download that number of shows from the
                             TODO list. We download some of the oldest
                             first, and then grab some of the newest as
                             well.
         download <num> <title filter>
                           : the same as above, but filter to only
                             download shows with a title exactly
                             matching the specified filter
         download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>
                           : the same as above, but with a regexp title
                             filter as well
         download <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter> justone
                           : the same as above, but download just one
                             and then mark all other matches as read

         cleartodo         : permanently remove all items from the TODO
                             list
         markread <num>    : interactively mark some of the oldest <num>
                             shows as already downloaded and imported
         markread <num> <title filter>
                           : the same as above, but filter to only mark
                             shows with a title exactly matching the
                             specified filter
         markread <num> <title filter> <subtitle filter>
                           : the same as above, but with a regexp title
                             filter as well

        (handy stuff)
         todoremote        : add a remote URL to the TODO list. This will
                             prompt for needed information about the
                             video, and set the date of the program to
                             now
         todoremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                           : the same as above, but don’t prompt for
                             anything
         importremote      : download and immediately import the named
                             URL. Will prompt for needed information
         importremote <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                           : the same as above, but don’t prompt for
                             anything
         importtorrent <url> <title> <subtitle> <description>
                           : the same as above, but force the URL to be
                             treated as a torrent. This is useful when
                             MythNetTV doesn’t automatically detect
                             that the URL is to a torrent file.
         importlocal <file>: import the named file, using the title,
                             subtitle and description from the command
                             line. The file will be left on disk.
         importlocal <file>: import the named file. The file will be
                             left on disk. Will prompt for needed
                             information
         importmanylocal <path> <regexp> <title>:
                             import all the files from path matching
                             regexp. title is use as the title for the
                             program, and the filename is used as the
                             subtitle

        (subscription management)
         subscribe <url> <title>
                           : subscribe to a URL, and specify the show
                             title
         list              : list subscriptions
         unsubscribe <url> : unsubscribe from a URL
         update            : add new programs from subscribed URLs to the
                             TODO list
         archive <title> <path>
                           : archive all programs with this title to the
                             specified path. This is useful for shows you
                             download and import, but want to build a
                             non-MythTV archive of as well
         http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy>
                           : you can choose to use a HTTP proxy for URL
                             requests matching a given regular expression.
                             Use this command to define such an entry. This
                             might be handy if some of the programs you
                             wish to subscribe to are only accessible over
                             a VPN.
         http_proxy <url regexp> <proxy> <budget mb>
                           : the same as above, but you can specify the
                             maximum number of megabytes to download via
                             the proxy in a given day. To see proxy usage
                             information, use the proxyusage command.

        (reporting)
         statistics        : show some simple statistics about MythNetTV
         log               : dump the current internal log entries
         nextdownload <num>
                           : if you executed download <num>, what would
                             be downloaded?
         proxyusage        : print a simple report on HTTP proxy usage over
                             the last seven days

        (debugging)
          videodir         : show where MythNetTV thinks it should be
                             placing video files
          explainvideodir  : verbosely explain why that video directory was
                             selected. This can help debug when the wrong
                             video directory is being used, or no video
                             directory at all is found
